THE MORMON CHURCH IN MOURN.
ING.

The Salt Lake Herald comes to hand
with turned rule, In mourning for the
Mormon leader, John Taylor. This Is the
third time in its brief existence that the
Mormon church has mourned the loss Of
Its head and chief prophet. In speaking
of this good man the Herald says: aside
from the peoples reverence and religious
love for him, his enforced retirement to
avoid arrest and imprisonment, has inspired
keen sympathy which will now make many
an otherp Use thoughtless heart sad" This
is indeed sad If President Taylor had
been prosecuted for violating the laws of
his country and sent to prison 1t would
have been still more sad. Still, among the
faithful Mormons this leader of his church
will be mourned as a great and good man.
The same paper contains a letter written
by DR.. Willard Richard who along with
the present deceased Mormon leader was
incarcerated in The old Carthage, H., Jail
at the time of the killing of the Mormon
prophet Joseph Smith, giving an account
of the affair. His account agrees nesrly
with the account of old citizens in Illinois
who were at Carthage at the time, which
was 1914. Dr. Richard agrees with the
account of members of the militia compan-
les stationed at Carthage that when the at
tack was made on the jail, Joe Smith stood
in the door and emptied revolver at the
mob. 1t has always been mystery how
Joe Smith got that revolver In his posses
sion. Our opinion is that some of the Nc
Donough county militia who stood guard
few days before the killing of Joe Smith
could account for it.

with the title of The Beerless Princess OF

The Rock Island .

"The Rock Island Railroad now has
its surveying corps in the Territory near
the Texas line, running its lines directly
down the old cattle trail Now should
the engineers follow their present iuten-
lions this line will run through our town
and unite with the Arkansas Pass at Cole
man, thus competing another through
line for Mr.. Gould, as it is now generally
suspected tust he is the monev power be-
hind these new roads and that in reality
they are important fictors in his gigantic
sy stem.
Already Governor Wheeler CT Cisco is
with the engineers in the territory, en-
deavoring by all the influence ne can bring
to bear, TO induce them 10 defect from
the true natural route, Wichita Falls also
convinced that the Rock Island will in the
next sixty d&ys come over this route, has
its able representative in the field TO per
suade them TO leave their present route
and come by Wichita Falls. He and
Governor Wheeler have pooled issues,
and are working for their towns cs COM
mon interest. They say the road is com
ing over this section in iewmOnths on its
way to Join hands with the Arkansas Pass
road, end they propose to have it if work,
energy, influence, and good bonus will
get il.
It's natural line is via Baird and Cole
ruan, and it is the line in most favor with
the principal agent Of the Rock Island at
Fort Worth. But must we stand idly by
and let men of influence and political
power take the capital prize away from
US, when we almost nave it in our grasp?
We should at once, with Albany and

car. 1t has every possible convent

has carried nearly every great man,
native or foreign, who has made
an extended tour of the country

came east from San Francisco in
1t, and he used it with his family on sew
eral other journeys; it carried the late
President Arthur when he made his mem
orsble trip to Florida, and the Duke of
Sutherland journeyed in it across the
continent. Mr.. Pullman is rather proud
of the Car on account of these associs-

parting with it. "The newspapers are
always building new cars for me at fab.

WATERFORD, TEX, Oct. 3.-TBE Ga
zETTE correspondent learned to-day from
strictly reliable source that the Texas
end Pacific would extend the passenger
train which stops now at Fort Worth to
this city. This is to be done between the
10th and 10Th Of this month; the train
will reach this city sometime between s
and O'Clock at night from the east, and
will leave for Ghe east in the morning st
I o'clock. The through train will run on
the same schedule as now. This will
give WeGtheriord two trains daily over
the Texas and Pacific; and probably the
Santa Fe will run two trains, giving this
city four trains daily; also giving the
people al opportunity Of going to Fort
Worth and attending to business and
returning the same Gay. The Santa Fe
is completed to within about seven and a
half miles Of Weatherford, and is moving

Tho Ware in Europe and the United States

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Glassware can be regarded both as a
necessity and luxury, the latter from
the beauty of the material composing the
article and the artistic work bestowed
upon 1t. The impression prevails to a
considerable extent that expensive glass
wsre, like expensive porcelain, will not
break so readily as the cheaper grades,
but this is delusion. There is no real
motive for the purchase of the expensive
article except the qualification of S taste
for luxury. The United States
possesses all the natural sdvan-
tages that are possessed by the
European countries for the manufacture
of glass, and In the use Of natural gas it
has one important factor not possessed
abroad. The cleanliness Of gas and
cheepness, and the ease with which it is
managed, certainly give to the glass
manufacturers OF Pittsburg and that vi
cinity an advantage not possessed in Eu-
rope. On the other hand Europe has its
exceedingly cheap labor, 1t has the talent
of families devoted to the artistic pro-
duction of glass for generations, and il
has It's art schools greater in number and
superior in teaching TO those of the
| United States.
For these reasons Europe is long way
ahead of the United States in ingenuity
of design, shapes, patterns ana tecora.

ages has been a fayorite medium for the
expression OF beauty. The fluid charac-
ter of the original substance permits it TO
be moulded to 81 Infinite variety Of forms,
and the most delicate shades OF color
may be infused through its crystsI clesr-
Iess SO as to adapt it TO the luxurious
uses of the table. The highest develop
ment of the art is in the production OF
cameo glass. Evidences OF this art in its
perfection are very ancient cad even in
the beginning Of the Christian era
very beautiful and expensive articles OF
dress were in use. At that time also
glass in its common forms was 8 cheap
article. At 80 B. G. cup and saucer OF
glass could be bought at Rome for money
equivalent to our cent. Illustrating the
other extreme, it is historically narrated
that the Emperor Nero paid g sum equiv
alent to $3.50, 900 for two cups OF moder-
ate Dimensions. Window glass did not
